CURT. I don't know. Come and help me.
ALICE. [Remains still] I cannot touch him—is he dead?
CURT. No—he lives.
ALICE sighs.
CURT helps the CAPTAIN to his feet and places him in a chair.
CAPTAIN. What was it? [Silence] What was it?
CURT. You fell down.
CAPTAIN. Did anything happen?
CURT. You fell on the floor. What is the matter with you?
CAPTAIN. With me? Nothing at all. I don't know of anything. What are you staring at me for?
CURT. You are ill.
